What Does Leviticus 26:28 Mean?
Fury marks the turning point from patient punishment to wrathful judgment. God Himself—'I, even I'—directly chastises. The sevenfold multiplication now reaches its apex: maximum penalty for complete rejection. Chastisement is not correction (which implies hope of amendment) but divine retribution.
The personal engagement of God in judgment is the final intensification: He does not send judges or armies but moves against Israel Himself. This is the face that once promised blessing now turned in wrath.
